Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I'm Melanie. I am a Story Grid Certified Editor.
That means I was personally trained by Shawn Coyne. He is an editor with over 30+ years of experience in editing manuscripts, and he has worked in the "Big 5" publishing houses. He created the Story Grid methodology that helps storytellers evaluate the structure of a story, identify the strengths and weaknesses, and give the writer the next steps to improve their story.
Being a Story Grid Certified Editor I am able to evaluate:
- how stories work and what it takes to tell a story in a song that your listeners can resonate with
- how to help you improve the stories told on your albums, no matter if you have a rough idea, songs drafted or released
- how to give constructive and valuable feedback
Wield the Power of Storytelling in your Lyrics.
Make an impact, move people, and even save lives!
